Rankin & Bass THE HOBBIT (Vista 103 1977) rare box set soundtrack MYSTICAL FOLK

$

26

The box is pretty smashed. Like someone sat on it or something. Or maybe just decades of being smooshed in with other records, on some neglected shelf. The center image is great, as you can see, but the box edges are pretty worn out. Soooooo ... I can't grade this thing. I don't know. It's a mix of good and bad. So the box is graded VG-

The vinyl (two records!) look damn near spotless, or else I wouldn't try to sell this. They both shine, like they received just minimal play at best. Both vinyl graded VG++

This box set originally cam with press-ons, for making your own homemade t-shirts. Those are long gone. But the booklet remains, and is in great shape.

In near mint condition, this box can sell for a fortune. It's rare, and most copies are horribly ruined these days. So here's a chance to get a decent copy for cheap.

SHIPPING

No matter how many items you buy from me, domestic American shipping is only $4, using USPS media mail. One record or 20 records, just $4. In contrast to every other seller, I encourage multiple purchases.

But be warned that USPS media mail is the budget route. Using the service, I’ve had items LOST, STOLEN and DESTROYED. More often than I’d like. If you are very concerned about your order’s safety, PLEASE ARRANGE FOR PRIORITY SHIPPING OR INSURANCE.

*** SIDE NOTE: I no longer accept bids from Australia. One mofo screwed it for your whole continent. Sorry, mates! SOL! ***



GRADING

I don’t up-grade my records to make more money. Usually, VG++ is as high as you’ll see me go. Near Mint is rare, usually play-test verified. And Mint? That is reserved for sealed items in pristine “like new” condition.

(Cover / Vinyl)  Good / VG- / VG / VG+ / VG++ / NM / Mint

Pricetag stickers are on the plastic sleeves, and I will carefully remove them before shipping.
As for the sleeves, those are yours. Bonus for you. I have tons.



PAYMENT

I request payment within 5 days. After 8 days, an Unpaid Item Claim is automatically filed, potentially suspending your account if you are a repeat offender. If there will be a delay in payment, just send me a message and tell me. I don’t bite!

Question: Do you ever go to the grocery, then wait for two weeks before paying? Answer: No, you don’t. So please don’t do that on eBay, either.



Thank you for your interest, and be sure to check out my other lots. Might be something you like!

EDIT

I have a nicer copy of this box set with a mysterious bonus third disc, a top notch box, AND the original press-ons.
If anyone is interested, let me know, and I'll tell you how to find it online. (Hint: It ain't on eBay!)
